Because of the bad weather and the almost impassable condition of the roads it hardly expected that many would able to respond to the invitations sent out, but notwithstanding the heavy down pour a goodly company gathered to offer their best wishes and many beautiful gifts. Two large tables were spread in the spacious dining room, seating some 32 persons, who greatly enjoyed the good things provided. A salient feature of the evening was the singing of old time songs while Mrs. Winblad and Mr. Stair, obliged at the piano.
